The challenge
An international school with British-style uniform standards — blazers, house ties, shirting — for students across every year group and for teaching staff. Unlike adults, children grow through the school year: a uniform measured at the start has to still fit at the end, and everything had to be ready before the first day of term.
Requirements
- Blazers, shirts, trousers and skirts to the school's British-style standard, with staff attire in the same design language
- A size chart that allows for growth at each year group
- Measuring on campus without disrupting lessons
- Complete delivery ahead of term, to a committed date
Solution
- Growth allowance built into the size chart, with mid-year alterations planned from the outset rather than remakes
- Our team measured at the school year group by year group, scheduled with the academic office
- Every student and staff member measured individually, with records kept for mid-year enrolments
- Production and delivery planned backwards from the agreed term date
Process
Measuring children calls for a different method: growth allowance is built into the size chart, with mid-year alterations planned from the outset.
Our team worked at the school year group by year group, coordinated with the academic office so no class was disrupted.
The full order was delivered ahead of the first day of term, to the committed date.
Following Mon Amie's standard six steps: consultation → design & cloth → sample approval → individual measuring → production → delivery & three-year warranty. See the process →
Outcome
- The full order delivered ahead of the first day of term, to the committed date
- No lessons disrupted during measuring
- Uniforms that last the school year thanks to growth allowance and planned alterations
